Introduction
This once made people curious, why do more developed countries less support the development of e-commerce? For Chinese people, everyone relies on e-commerce shopping. After all, compared to buying things in physical stores, e-commerce shopping prices are more favorable. This is because those physical store owners need to bear more expensive rent, labor, decoration and other costs. , and e-commerce merchants only need to rent a warehouse and use a few simple manpower to sell goods. Moreover, e-commerce merchants face sellers from all over the country, which also allows them to have the capital to choose small profits but quick turnover.
In this contrast with obvious differences, physical store owners basically have no room for survival. In the past, those physical merchants could still rely on the advantage of selecting and buying immediately to attract consumers, but now due to the increasingly perfect development of the express logistics industry, a product can be delivered to consumers in about three days.
In order to provide consumers with more complete services, many merchants also directly provide freight insurance, and return goods without spending money. In this case, everyone is more enthusiastic about online shopping. Of course, with domestic online shopping so prosperous and developed, various physical store merchants basically have no competitive advantage.
Now we can see that physical businesses from all over the country are closing down one after another. Even if some are still struggling, their business is not as good as before.
But what is strange is that the prosperity and development of e-commerce does not seem to be positively related to the level of development of a country, because many Western countries that are more developed than us do not vigorously support the development of e-commerce like China. This is For what reason? We do not deny that the emergence and prosperity of e-commerce has provided a lot of convenience to our lives, but this does not mean that we can completely ignore the various impacts caused by the development of e-commerce.
After all, a country's economic development is driven by the real industry, but now the real economy has been losing ground in the competition with e-commerce. China's labor market is currently undergoing an unprecedented change.
After the emergence of e-commerce, there has been a significant change in the shopping methods of young people. In the past, when everyone had shopping needs, they would choose to buy at the nearest mall. However, the subsequent emergence of e-commerce has made everyone more willing to shop directly online. Just turn on your mobile phone. With shopping software, you can use your free time to browse products from all over the world with your fingers, easily meet your shopping needs, and save time, energy and money.
But after the physical industry retreated, the development level of major cities also changed significantly, causing more and more physical store owners to lament.
But from the perspective of consumers, everyone chooses e-commerce shopping because it is more in line with their own interests and needs, and e-commerce shopping is cheaper. This is a fact, and it is difficult for everyone to consider the development of physical store owners. Spend more money on things. In addition, the development of e-commerce over the years has indeed created many jobs and spawned some related industries, providing employment opportunities to millions of people.
For example, the express delivery industry is one of the industries that is booming rapidly with the help of the development of e-commerce. This has also led to more and more people giving up employment opportunities in factories or other units and running to deliver express delivery.
However, when more and more physical stores close down, it also creates some vacancies in the labor force, which also affects the lives of some people. However, this situation seems to be unique to China, because those developed countries have little regard for e-commerce. Most of the e-commerce development companies have a neutral attitude. They will not restrict the development of the e-commerce industry, but they will not promote it as strongly as China.
The reason is that on the one hand, people in developed countries have strong spending power. For them, the most important thing when buying a product is not the price but the quality. If the quality of a product passes the test, how much does it cost? They are all willing, but if a product only has a low price and is not excellent in other aspects, then they will not consider buying it.
Conclusion
There is a price and quality difference between e-commerce and the physical industry. Although the goods sold by e-commerce are cheap, it is also true that the quality varies. Although the goods sold in physical stores are more expensive, the quality is mostly Trustworthy. On the other hand, people in many developed countries attach great importance to personal privacy. They believe that online shopping may cause their personal privacy to be leaked. This is also unacceptable to some Westerners. Therefore, although they have the conditions for online shopping in recent years, they have not paid attention to it. This method of shopping is not considered dependent.
